A JA Girl Exposed : In Her Own Words.

A relationship should be based on trust. We often hear how important this concept is to a successful relationship. Usually that trust leads you to feel secure enough to discuss anything, explore anything that will allow you to add ‘spice’ to the relationship, and this often includes sending explicit pictures. However, this practice intended to be an intimate act between lovers has been turned into a public spectacle, intended to extort and embarrass Jamaican females. This gave birth to the website JA Girls Exposed. One of my followers on Twitter has found herself “exposed”, pictures she sent to a guy she was dating posted on a website for all the world to see. By all accounts, she is popular on Twitter, a stunning young lady, comfortable with her body and her sexuality. She wants you to hear her side of the story, to tell you about her personal anguish and sense of betrayal. We will call her VC. Here she is, in her own words.

Trolling On Twitter : Have We Gone Too Far?

The Urban Dictionary defines “trolling” as “The art of deliberately, cleverly and secretly pissing people off, usually via the internet, using dialogue.” The dictionary goes on to explain specifically what qualifies as “dialogue”. It concludes that one must (a) convince your ‘victim’ that what you’re saying is true, no matter how outrageous and (b) give your ‘victim’ malicious instructions under the guise of help. Yet, something quite different obtains as trolling among many Jamaicans on Twitter. What we call trolling is nothing short of crude, offensive, sexist, derogatory, racist and or homophobic – but the most prominent form of “trolling” that has emerged among Jamaicans is bullying. You are not a troll, you are a bully, and not just any bully, a punk ass cyber bully. Shame on you. There is a fine line between being a troll and a bully. A very, very fine line. Jamaicans, in their natural tendency to OD, have long since crossed that line.

Hear The Children’s Cry

“Something in the heart of most human beings simply cannot abide pain inflicted on the innocent, especially children. Even broken men serving in the worst correctional facilities will often first take out their rage on those who have caused suffering to children. Even in a world of relative morality, causing harm to a child is still considered absolutely wrong. Period.” – The Shack, by W.M Paul Young.

High School Sex Tapes : Raw & Uncut

In the last five (5) years there has been a drastic increase in the practice of high school students having sex and recording it via smartphones and other recording devices. Often times these students are clothed in full uniform and even more often they are engaging in unprotected sex. The latest video going viral appears to be of a student of Excelsior High in Kingston; true to form, the young lady is in full uniform, bent over in what appears to be an abandoned building by the road side (by the sound of it) and the young man is wearing no condom.

The Bowaz Lecture

The funniest thing happened this morning. I received an email from a guy who subscribes to my blog, blasting me for encouraging people to participate in oral sex. Interestingly enough, the criticism wasn’t aimed at stopping me from promoting it, but rather, it blasted me for promoting it without telling my readers that it’s a skill, and simply putting mouth to genitals isn’t enough. The young man, who will remain anonymous, told me, “I love yuh blogs, but you can’t telling di b dem fi just suck hood suh Mr. Editor. Find an experience girl nuh and mek har explain how to do it good. Mi hate when di new one dem suck it and dem teeth graze off mi hood, dawg it hot…”

The Trouble With Lesbians In Schools

The Gleaner carried a story today which alleges rampant homosexual conduct at a local corporate area all girls school. The newspaper claims that in many cases younger students are forced into performing sexual acts on or with older students. According to the school’s administration, the situation is so severe that an emergency meeting was called with parents to address the “behavioural” issues. This predator-like perception of lesbians worries me, especially in a country already grossly homophobic. Could the actions of these supposed lesbians result in further marginalisation of homosexuals in Jamaica? I think so.

“A Yah So Nice” Nuh Nice At All : Rape Lyrics Disturbing

Rape is a serious issue and must never be trivialised. Homosexuals have sex because they choose to, a woman has no choice in being raped. Tonight on Twitter, I came across the lyrics of a popular dancehall song which has been making the rounds on local airwaves. The song, titled “A Yah Suh Nice”, contains a line where the artiste declares “Before mi tun a battyman, mi wudda tun a raper”. I find the lyrics deeply troubling, not only because the artiste has poor grammar (I’m not aware that “raper” is a word), but because of the alarming message. I wish to share my thoughts on this.

The Bowaz Confessions

Since I started this blog, I’ve dedicated three posts to the issue of oral sex. In these posts, I discussed the attitudes and perceptions of oral sex and at the end, I’m always asked, “but why?”. In other words, why do girls perform fellatio? Why do men perform cunnilingus?

The answer, at least to me, would have been obvious; it’s a part of holistic sexual pleasure. However, to those who can find no justification for it whatsoever, it obviously would seem untenable, unacceptable even. So I decided to push the envelope some more. I’m going to devote this entire post to people who engage in oral sex giving their justification and reasoning. I declare it… The Bowaz Confessions.

This is PNP Country. Case Closed.

The polls said it would be close, the pundits opined that it was anybody’s race to win; but when the dust settled on Thursday night, Jamaicans made one thing explicitly clear, this is PNP country. In what was a stunning electoral upset, the Opposition People’s National swept the ruling Jamaica Labour Party from power in spectacular style, winning 42 of the 63 seats in the House of Representatives.

Repeal It! : Jamaica’s Sodomy Law Under Attack

For not the first time in less than three years, questions are being raised about the validity of Jamaica’s anti-buggery laws. Under the Offences Against The Person Act, it is unlawful for citizens to engage in the act of buggery (anal sex). However, for the first time, the 147 year old law faces two serious challenges; one legal and the other of a socio-economic nature.

A group of Jamaicans including Jamaicans for Justice, Jamaican Forum for Lesbians All Sexuals and Gays (J-FLAG), AIDS-Free World, Families Against State Terrorism (FAST), with the assistance of famed attorney Lord Anthony Gifford; have decided to challenge the law before The Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR). The second challenge came recently at the Commonwealth Heads of Government conference in Australia. The British Prime Minister, David Cameron, has indicated that his country is no longer willing to budget aid for countries that continue to legislate against homosexuals. Jamaica is one such member of the commonwealth.
